"It's a way of showing solidarity with the sleep-deprived houseless people who lack shelter or affordable housing," organizer Lisa Fay said in a news release.

An open house with lunch and cake is planned at the camp from noon to 2 p.m., followed by a fashion show at 3 p.m. There will also be a sleeping bag and blanket drive. The public is welcome to participate in any of the day's activities.
